perf tools: Remove needless asm/unistd.h include fixing build in some places

2019-05-02T20:00:20Z

We were including sys/syscall.h and asm/unistd.h, since sys/syscall.h includes asm/unistd.h, sometimes this leads to the redefinition of defines, breaking the build. Noticed on ARC with uCLibc.

tools build: Add -ldl to the disassembler-four-args feature test

2019-05-02T20:00:20Z

Thomas Backlund reported that the perf build was failing on the Mageia 7 distro, that is because it uses: cat /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-disassembler-four-args.make.output /usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib64/libbfd.a(plugin.o): in function `try_load_plugin': /home/iurt/rpmbuild/BUILD/binutils-2.32/objs/bfd/../../bfd/plugin.c:243: undefined reference to `dlopen' /usr/bin/ld: /home/iurt/rpmbuild/BUILD/binutils-2.32/objs/bfd/../../bfd/plugin.c:271: undefined reference to `dlsym' /usr/bin/ld: /home/iurt/rpmbuild/BUILD/binutils-2.32/objs/bfd/../../bfd/plugin.c:256: undefined reference to `dlclose' /usr/bin/ld: /home/iurt/rpmbuild/BUILD/binutils-2.32/objs/bfd/../../bfd/plugin.c:246: undefined reference to `dlerror' as we allow dynamic linking and loading Mageia 7 uses these linker flags: $ rpm --eval %ldflags -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,--no-undefined -Wl,-z,relro -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--build-id -Wl,--enable-new-dtags So add -ldl to this feature LDFLAGS.

perf cs-etm: Always allocate memory for cs_etm_queue::prev_packet

2019-05-02T20:00:20Z

Robert Walker reported a segmentation fault is observed when process CoreSight trace data; this issue can be easily reproduced by the command 'perf report --itrace=i1000i' for decoding tracing data. If neither the 'b' flag (synthesize branches events) nor 'l' flag (synthesize last branch entries) are specified to option '--itrace', cs_etm_queue::prev_packet will not been initialised. After merging the code to support exception packets and sample flags, there introduced a number of uses of cs_etm_queue::prev_packet without checking whether it is valid, for these cases any accessing to uninitialised prev_packet will cause crash. As cs_etm_queue::prev_packet is used more widely now and it's already hard to follow which functions have been called in a context where the validity of cs_etm_queue::prev_packet has been checked, this patch always allocates memory for cs_etm_queue::prev_packet.

perf cs-etm: Don't check cs_etm_queue::prev_packet validity

2019-05-02T20:00:20Z

Since cs_etm_queue::prev_packet is allocated for all cases, it will never be NULL pointer; now validity checking prev_packet is pointless, remove all of them.

perf report: Report OOM in status line in the GTK UI

2019-05-02T20:00:20Z

An -ENOMEM error is not reported in the GTK GUI. Instead this error message pops up on the screen: [root@m35lp76 perf]# ./perf report -i perf.data.error68-1 Processing events... [974K/3M] Error:failed to process sample 0xf4198 [0x8]: failed to process type: 68 However when I use the same perf.data file with --stdio it works: [root@m35lp76 perf]# ./perf report -i perf.data.error68-1 --stdio \ | head -12 # Total Lost Samples: 0 # # Samples: 76K of event 'cycles' # Event count (approx.): 99056160000 # # Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol # ........ ............... ................. ......... # 8.81% find [kernel.kallsyms] [k] ftrace_likely_update 8.74% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] ftrace_likely_update 8.34% sshd [kernel.kallsyms] [k] ftrace_likely_update 2.19% kworker/u512:1- [kernel.kallsyms] [k] ftrace_likely_update The sample precentage is a bit low..... The GUI always fails in the FINISHED_ROUND event (68) and does not indicate the reason why. When happened is the following. Perf report calls a lot of functions and down deep when a FINISHED_ROUND event is processed, these functions are called: perf_session__process_event() + perf_session__process_user_event() + process_finished_round() + ordered_events__flush() + __ordered_events__flush() + do_flush() + ordered_events__deliver_event() + perf_session__deliver_event() + machine__deliver_event() + perf_evlist__deliver_event() + process_sample_event() + hist_entry_iter_add() --> only called in GUI case!!! + hist_iter__report__callback() + symbol__inc_addr_sample() Now this functions runs out of memory and returns -ENOMEM. This is reported all the way up until function perf_session__process_event() returns to its caller, where -ENOMEM is changed to -EINVAL and processing stops: if ((skip = perf_session__process_event(session, event, head)) < 0) { pr_err("%#" PRIx64 " [%#x]: failed to process type: %d\n", head, event->header.size, event->header.type); err = -EINVAL; goto out_err; } This occurred in the FINISHED_ROUND event when it has to process some 10000 entries and ran out of memory. This patch indicates the root cause and displays it in the status line of ther perf report GUI. Output before (on GUI status line): 0xf4198 [0x8]: failed to process type: 68 Output after: 0xf4198 [0x8]: failed to process type: 68 [not enough memory] Committer notes: the 'skip' variable needs to be initialized to -EINVAL, so that when the size is less than sizeof(struct perf_event_attr) we avoid this valid compiler warning: util/session.c: In function ‘perf_session__process_events’: util/session.c:1936:7: error: ‘skip’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] err = skip; ~~~~^~~~~~ util/session.c:1874:6: note: ‘skip’ was declared here s64 skip; ^~~~ cc1: all warnings being treated as errors Signed-off-by: Thomas Richter Reviewed-by: Hendrik Brueckner Reviewed-by: Jiri Olsa Cc: Heiko Carstens Cc: Martin Schwidefsky Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190423105303.61683-1-tmricht@linux.ibm.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf bench numa: Add define for RUSAGE_THREAD if not present

2019-05-02T20:00:20Z

While cross building perf to the ARC architecture on a fedora 30 host, we were failing with: CC /tmp/build/perf/bench/numa.o bench/numa.c: In function ‘worker_thread’: bench/numa.c:1261:12: error: ‘RUSAGE_THREAD’ undeclared (first use in this function); did you mean ‘SIGEV_THREAD’? getrusage(RUSAGE_THREAD, &rusage); ^~~~~~~~~~~~~ SIGEV_THREAD bench/numa.c:1261:12: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in [perfbuilder@60d5802468f6 perf]$ /arc_gnu_2019.03-rc1_prebuilt_uclibc_le_archs_linux_install/bin/arc-linux-gcc --version | head -1 arc-linux-gcc (ARCv2 ISA Linux uClibc toolchain 2019.03-rc1) 8.3.1 20190225 [perfbuilder@60d5802468f6 perf]$ Trying to reproduce a report by Vineet, I noticed that, with just cross-built zlib and numactl libraries, I ended up with the above failure. So, since RUSAGE_THREAD is available as a define, check for that and numactl libraries, I ended up with the above failure. So, since RUSAGE_THREAD is available as a define in the system headers, check if it is defined in the 'perf bench numa' sources and define it if not. Now it builds and I have to figure out if the problem reported by Vineet only takes place if we have libelf or some other library available.
